Video Game Deigner

This time around, I am going to blog about the job of a Video Game Designer. There are many needs to be a video game designer. The first and most important thing that is needed to be a video game designer is to have much love for video games. That every time you’re walking, working, spacing out, or even sleeping, you should be able to hear the theme song of a game. Companies what to hire a person that knows what it takes to make a game good, and what it takes to make it bad. They need to know how to make a great landscape in a game and know how to avoid a bad, disaster one. The only way a person can do that is to play video games over, and over, AND OVER again. They want to hire a person who devotes their time to gaming. The second thing the companies want are people who are smart and great problem solvers. In other words, there are games where bugs, glitches and potential problems when designing a game. The last thing the companies want in a person is to be able to do things in a certain time. A person needs to be patient, but they also need to make an effective work of it. The salary of the video game designer is $50,000 a year, three to six years is $66K a year, and six years and higher gives you $88K a year. Though, I am not trying to become a video game designer for the money, but to help make better games that will satisfy both young and mature people in years.

Red Dead Redemption called Game of The Year

            Red Dead Redemption, a game that stars a cowboy in a western era is now called game of the year!! Personally I like the game because it has a great story line plus a free roam choice where a player can roam free, a side line of going into a gambling, races of how western people did it, good old fashion gun slinging, and much more. After completing the game, all you have left is the free roam and the multiplayer, but what if you can have more bonuses installed? Now that Red Dead Redemption has a game of the year edition, a few things will be included to make the fans pleasant. The new downloadable content Undead Nightmares is now included, you may have to download it, but hey, it’s for free, new multiplayer enchantments, added weapons and other gear has been put in. If you wanted to play it “hardcore” style, then the creators of the game has installed it for you. A new hardcore single-player mode has been put in. Undead Nightmares has the single-player mode along with the multiplayer mode. The tomahawk has been put in as a projectile weapon. Two new outfits from the game’s story have been installed as well. The mission “Outlaws To The End” has came back as a cooperative mission pack along with six co-op missions that can have up to four other players to play. All original pre-order content has been installed including the Deadly Assassin Outfit, War Horse, and Golden Guns Weapon Pack. A new single-player gang hideout and challenges are available for the first time on Xbox 360. Just- released Myths and Mavericks Bonus Pack featuring fan favorites multiplayer characters and new location to roam freely, while also causing mayhem on it as well. All of this has been installed in the new Red Dead Redemption: Game of The Year edition.

Future Technology

  I Have recently read an article about the future technology, I say it is looking well right now. The name of the article is "The Internet of Things" and judging by the title of this article, it is dealing with our life combined with technologies. Recently, a chip has been made that can keep track of your belongings. With this chip, a belonging like keys, clothing, electronics will never be lost  again. The only bad result I think of this is that it may be visual by other people. Meaning that your privacy may, or may not, be seen by other people. Then again, it is a good thing since many of often lose our things in such haste. Keys and small electronics are the most frequent objects that are easily lost and angers people for losing them. I can be one of those people since my keys are small and my room is the primary place to lose it since it’s a messy place. This little chip can be answer to everyone’s problems and a helping hand. To others, it might be an invasion of privacy because electronics often give out personal information without them knowing. Personally, I do not really care for this chip because even though I am one those who loses items, I take my time to look for them. It gives you a sense of adventure to find lost items you lost before, plus its like a good workout to look for one object.
